- Rethinking Reformation Join us as we explore the many different interpretations of the Reformation. Some think Late Medieval Catholicism was backwards and superstitious, while others find it to be a pure expression of folk Christianity. For some, Martin Luther was the hero of the Christian faith, while others claim he destroyed 1500 years of tradition. Some will tell you that John Calvin was a dour and grumpy curmudgeon, while others claim he was a theologian of the heart. Does the Episcopal Church really just exist because Henry the VIII wanted a divorce, or were there other reasons for the English Reformation? In this series, we will identify some of these common narratives, while also attempting to understand the reformers on their own terms. The last two sessions promise to include interactive elements, including art and a "Reformation-Sing-Along." The series is being led by Steve Lloyd and takes place six consecutive Sundays between the services from September 23 to October 28 from 9:15 to 10:15.
- Moms, the new school year is here. Start with prayer!
